    Stopped by today to look at the Sunday ad items. IYKYK ritual for Hawaii locals. Parking lot was pretty full today. I had to circle around to find parking. The store is well lit and organized. I walked around looking at the sale items and Lunar new year items as well. I found a few items to try of course. The cashier lines were not too long here. A short stop and off I went.

    We don't frequent this Longs Drugs. We're here to dispose of expired medications

    This review is only for their Pharmacy Department. Having worked in a medical center for years, I became aware of the proper disposal of pharmaceutical waste. Some companies provide safe, easy, and affordable pharmaceutical waste disposal solutions. The correct and lawful turn-in of pharmaceutical waste is crucial to preventing drug misuse and is safer for the environment. Fortunately, at my age, I don't need or take more than two prescription medications for chronic issues; however, I joke about my husband's medicine cabinet that looks like he could start his pharmacy. His cadre of physicians has changed his medications several times over the year to address some of his medical conditions, so every so often, we go through his medications that he no longer takes and to properly get rid of them. Besides, we know that once a pharmacy dispenses the drug and leaves that pharmacy's custody, the pharmacy cannot accept any returns even if the packaging is intact and the product is unused. Proper and safe disposal is the key to keeping others and the environment from being misused, especially unused narcotics. We visited our usual CVS Longs Drugs Pharmacy - Ala Moana and inquired if they had a medication disposal bin available to the public. The pharmacy technician advised us that pharmaceutical disposal bins are located at this store and their Kamehameha Shopping Center locations. So we made a beeline to this location as it is more convenient to do so to dispose of the medications. For privacy, when you take your unused prescription medications in, you should use a black marker to cover your name on the label, or you can combine the drugs in an unmarked prescription bottle. Last week, when we came into this CVS Longs, we quickly located the Pharmacy Department and were about to ask the technician for the location of their disposal bin when I spied it in a corner next to a chair. She noticed me heading for the waste box but stopped me because the box was locked and full and they were waiting for the pharmaceutical returns company to empty it. Tsk. I slipped the bottles back into my purse and decided to return on another day. Luckily, on this second visit, I had a few moments to examine the box for its security (yup, its padlocked drop box with one-way drop access) and told my husband to just drop his unmarked bottles in. Easy-peasy and FREE pharmaceutical disposal can be found at select CVS Longs Drugs. So, if you have excess and or expired medications lying around your home, Id recommend that you do you, your family, others, and the environment the correct disposal way instead of just dumping your medications into the trash or water systems.

    This five-star review is for my experience yesterday at the pharmacy. I was assisted by Winnie, who was very very very helpful and kind! I came to pick up my prescription, which my doctor faxed over in the morning. It was my first time taking this medication, and it cost a lot more than I had expected but I was sort of prepared to pay for it (I mean, what am I gonna do, right?) Winnie asked if I had any coupon to offset the price. I gave her a blank stare coz I had no idea what she meant! She suggested I look up the manufacturer's coupon website, which I couldn't find. Then she offered to look it up for me, but which will take some time. I thought ok why not. She literally created an account for me then and there! I felt bad standing at the counter while the other staff member served the line of customers which had formed in the time I was waiting. Anyway the whole process took maybe 20 minutes (I didn't keep track but by then the bank had closed). And my total copay was zero for three months' worth of medication. She helped me save at least $100!! Winnie at the pharmacy is a rock star!! (The other staff too as I observed, they're all friendly and polite!) In fact the few times I shopped at this Longs, the staff I encountered have been helpful and friendly. I once asked someone about disposable gloves and he went in search of them even though it wasn't his area. He even called the Manoa Longs to check on their inventory too. Parking is plentiful. The shelves are well-stocked. And there's a BOH attached to the store as well. Oh and there's a drive-thru pharmacy too.

    At the front of the store, there's a list of what's available and popular

    Shopping in Moiliili, Honolulu, Hawaii... This past Memorial Day weekend, I had a bunch of errands to do in town (Honolulu). Between appointments, I wanted to use my 30 percent off coupon which Longs (CVS Pharmacy) emailed to me. There's an option for members of the loyalty program to add coupon (with just a tap on a button) onto the card (with the barcode) for more efficiency and convenience... genius! I also was looking for posterboards to make signs for our friends, Russ and Jessica, as they are about to leave Hawaii and start a new chapter in their lives in Las Vegas. I wanted my Yelp Hawaii friends to show the happy couple some words of encouragement and well wishes... Longs helped us accomplish our goal by providing friendly employees, clean/safe/spacious environment, free parking, cool air conditioning, and reasonable prices. This particular location used to be Star Supermarket. It's 24/7 and is relatively near to the University of Hawaii. I easily found the colorful posterboards in the stationary/school & office supplies section. Also available for milestones such as retirement and graduation are leis made of candy and local snacks, greeting cards, adult beverages, etc. Popular items at this time of Pandemic are face masks and disposable wipes. There's a list at the entrance as to which items are soldnout. The weekly newspaper advertisement was posted on the wall for everyone's perusal. Longs is just a local favorite store. It's consistently reliable, so it's usually my first choice when I make any purchase. "Saying goodbye is never an easy thing..." (from Love Will Lead You Back by Taylor Dayne) However, with Longs by your side, it really helps out... We'll truly miss Russ and Jessica... wishing them all good things in their new home on the 9th island... Happy retirement, Russ! We appreciate your service to our country! Air hugs to Makana and Jessica, too! See you again soon!

    If I had to rank all the Longs Drugs I've been to all around Oahu, I have to put this one at or near the top of the list. Whenever there's a sale, especially extremely popular items, this Longs will almost always have it in stock while other Longs will run out the first day of the sale and never restock. That goes with other popular items as well. I always do a quick search on the CVS website and almost always, this Longs is always listed as having it "In Stock." This Longs is very convenient to get to as you can easily drive in and out of the parking lot in both East and west direction along Beretania and South King St. There's a decent amount of parking stalls, but it does fill up when it's busy with shoppers and others who park here to go to Cafe Maharani. The inside is bright and spacious and definitely feels like they have way more things than other Longs. It is very well staffed with multiple cashiers open, and you'll almost always run into a staff member who will ask if you need help. All of them are friendly, helpful, and courteous. Overall, I like that this Longs will always have what you need and what's on sale in stock. I feel this Longs is a lot more on it in customer service and keeping their store well stocked, while all the other Longs are slow and incompetent. This Longs also has a drive thru Pharmacy and it is open 24/7! Can't beat that!

    I love coming to this location. They always have the sale items on hand, but if they run out you can do a rain check (rain check never expires). This morning as soon as I walk in the store, one of the staff greeted me with a good morning and a beautiful smile. This just brightened my day. I like coming to this location. I know where most of the items are located and items are usually stocked. The pharmacy is open 24 hours and they have a drive thru. I love the CVS App, I get notifications when my medication is ready to fill, ready to pick up and all the great coupons I earned by shopping.

I would just drive to the Ala Moana location because it's not too far, plus it's a good excuse to stop by Mari's Urban Garden haha.

Parking isn't a hassle. The parking garage is free so you don't have to battle for street parking. If you do park on the street, keep your eye on your meter, because the cops give tickets out all the time. I see parking enforcement nearly everytime I'm there.

My child is medically fragile and relies on enteral formula, syringes, extension sets, and a G-tube device for daily survival. These are not items that can be purchased at a store, and timely, predictable delivery is medically necessary. On multiple occasions, scheduled deliveries were either missed or significantly delayed without any communication from the company. In the most recent incident, a delivery requiring a signature was scheduled within an 8 a.m.-5 p.m. window. A caregiver stayed home all day, yet no delivery occurred and no call was made to notify us of the delay. The delivery ultimately arrived close to 11 p.m., which created safety concerns for both the driver and our household and disrupted a medically fragile child who is seizure-prone. While we were relieved that the supplies were eventually delivered, the lack of communication, follow-up, and explanation was concerning. When deliveries involve life-sustaining nutrition or medical devices, "eventually delivered" is not sufficient. Late-night deliveries, missed windows, and absent courtesy calls pose real risks--especially for families caring for children with special needs, elderly patients, or individuals dependent on oxygen or other medical equipment. Over the years, there have also been recurring issues with inaccurate patient information, lack of follow-up on backordered items despite promised callbacks, and inconsistent communication from both office staff and delivery services. I want to be clear that my intent in sharing this is not to single out individual employees, but to highlight systemic issues that I hope leadership will address. Improved communication, accurate patient records, proactive notifications about delays or backorders, and clear delivery time boundaries would significantly improve safety and trust for patients and caregivers. I am sharing this so other families and caregivers are aware, and in hopes that PharmaCare will continue working toward the level of reliability that medically dependent patients truly need and deserve.
